	It might be that GCC is not optimizing this division as strongly
as it should.  __divdi3 is a 64-bit signed divide.  A signed divide is not
the same as a shift.  Maybe the 64-bit variable is not declared as
unsigned when it should be?

	The Linux kernel does not link against libgcc.a, so any GCC
support routines (such as __divdi3) need to be provided explicitly.
